Nice view of the city & port
Nice monument with a view of the city and the port from all sides. There are benches all around so you can relax and enjoy a beautiful day.

Remembering the past ... monument on the top of the hill.
In the courtyard of the Archeology and History museum of Tulcea , on a small hill overlooking the city , you shall find the Monument of Independence - it was raised to commemorate those fallen in the war for of 1877-1878 (war that was waged against the Ottomans who were occupying the region of Dobrogea in that period). Made of marble, it consists of 3 pieces - 1 obelisk in the middle flanked by to bronze statues - one representing an infantry man form the period of the Independence war, with the riffle on his shoulder and a horn in his hand (a wake-up call to arms? ...maybe) and the royal vulture (symbol of the house of Hohenzollern, the family of the King Charles I of Romania who has been named King of Romania in 1878). Overall and interesting landmark , for those who are into history, a very good spot for taking some beautiful pictures of Tulcea from a nice vantage point - mind the opening hours, since it is in the courtyard of the museum the courtyard is not open 24/7 - it does close around 22-23:00 in the evening , reopening in the next morning.
